Yttrium-doped BaTiO3 ceramics have been studied as a potential material for positive temperature coefficient resistors (PTCR). The mechanism of
Y incorporation into BaTiO3 plays an important role for displaying good electrical properties. Determination of the amount of yttrium in the BaTiO3 as well as microstructure characterization of the samples were performed using SEM, EDS and WDS analysis. An optimized trace
element WDS quantitative analysis was applied to determine elemental concentrations for Ba, Ti and Y in the samples as accurately
as possible. BaTiO3 and Y2O3 were used as standards. Analysis was undertaken using a JEOL JXA 840A electron probe microanalyzer. WDS X-ray intensity measurements
were performed under 20 kV, 50 nA beam current and 0.2% preset standard counting deviation (σc) using a PET crystal. Measured k-ratios were quantified by ZAF matrix correction. Average results of WDS quantitative analysis showed 20.17 ± 0.08 at % Ti,
19.95 ± 0.09 at % Ba, 0.22 ± 0.03 at % Y, and 59.66 at % O. The results suggest incorporation of yttrium in the BaTiO3 preferentially at the Ba-sites, however partial incorporation of Y at Ti-sites could not be excluded. 相似文献
In this paper we describe the search strategies developed for docking flexible molecules to macomolecular sites that are incorporated into the widely distributed DOCK software, version 4.0. The search strategies include incremental construction and random conformation search and utilize the existing Coulombic and Lennard-Jones grid-based scoring function. The incremental construction strategy is tested with a panel of 15 crystallographic testcases, created from 12 unique complexes whose ligands vary in size and flexibility. For all testcases, at least one docked position is generated within 2 Å of the crystallographic position. For 7 of 15 testcases, the top scoring position is also within 2 Å of the crystallographic position. The algorithm is fast enough to successfully dock a few testcases within seconds and most within 100 s. The incremental construction and the random search strategy are evaluated as database docking techniques with a database of 51 molecules docked to two of the crystallographic testcases. Incremental construction outperforms random search and is fast enough to reliably rank the database of compounds within 15 s per molecule on an SGI R10000 cpu. 相似文献
The rate constant for the combination of 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl radicals in the gas phase has been measured by applying the rotating sector technique to the 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane–cyclohexane photochemical system. The combination rate constant, k5, was found to be 6.6 × 1012 cc mole?1 sec?1. Arrhenius parameters for the reaction, are given by the expression log k4 = 11.81 – (9700/2.3RT). 相似文献
Abstract. Using the method of flash photolysis, the triplet of the single indole side chain of human serum albumin was detected at room temperature. In a nitrogen saturated solution, this species was found to decay exponentially for over a factor of ten with a lifetime τ 0.5 ms. Analogous experiments, reported here, with bovine serum albumin yield a non-exponential decay which may be decomposed into two components. The yield of the longer lived triplet, with an average τ of ∼6 ms, is significantly enhanced by addition of a 20 fold excess of sodium dodecyl sulfate or 1 M Br-. The yield of the shorter lived triplet, τ 0.4 ms, is unaffected by these treatments as was previously observed for the single indole in HSA. Thus, the short lived triplet may be assigned to the indole in BSA which is homologous to the one in HSA. The longer lived triplet may be assigned to the remaining indole of BSA. On the bases of wavelength dependence studies, two additional transients may be identified; the electron adduct of the disulfide bond, λ; 420 with a τ 30 ms, and the neutral indole radical,λ; 520 nm with τ ls. These results suggest that the triplet, because of its long τ, will be a valuable intrinsic reporter group for the study of the structure and dynamics of proteins in solution at room temperature. 相似文献
In connection with the study and the treatment of generalised demineralising bone diseases, the amount of phosphorus and calcium
has been determined in the hand by “in vivo” neutron activation analysis using252Cf and238Pu−Be isotopic neutron sources. The statistical accuracy of the induced radioactivity measurement carried out on the hand
of a normal subject is about 2% for P and Ca, while the standard deviation over a series of 10 analyses performed on a same
phantom remains within 3% for both P and Ca. The results are normalized and expressed in grams of P or Ca per cm3 of bone. The values observed on a group of 55 normal subjects and on some osteoporotic patients are given. 相似文献
AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isooxazole) receptors, a major subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), mediate the majority of the fast communication between neurons, and the activity-dependent trafficking of AMPA receptors at synapses plays a role in mammalian learning and memory. Here we describe the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a photoreactive AMPA receptor antagonist that provides a means of "knocking out" AMPA receptors present on the surface of cells. The antagonist, 6-azido-7-nitro-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (ANQX), was designed by introducing a photoreactive azido group onto a quinoxalinedione inhibitor scaffold. Computational docking of ANQX to the AMPA receptor ligand-binding core predicted efficient binding to AMPA receptors. Glutamate-evoked currents were reversibly blocked at micromolar ANQX concentrations prior to photolysis and irreversibly blocked following photolysis. ANQX provides a means of directly evaluating the trafficking of native AMPA receptors with unparalleled spatiotemporal resolution. 相似文献
. The structure of thin 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarb-oxylic-dianhydride (PTCDA) films on Cu(110) was studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) from submonolayer to monolayer coverage. While no long-range ordering was found after deposition at room temperature, the formation of a well-defined superstructure is observed after thermal annealing. It appears that the formation of the superstructure is driven by the interaction between the oxygen atoms of the PTCDA and the copper atoms of the substrate. While the distance between the molecules fits well to the atomic lattice of the Cu(110) surface along the [1[`([¯])]1[¯]\bar\Box1\Box]]0] direction, the mismatch along the [001] direction leads to a periodic buckling normal to the surface accompanied by a restructuring of the substrate. 相似文献
